Well, I had a really hard time coming up with what I felt the secret ingredient for the month should be. However, I think I ended up with something that will be easy for everybody. So, without further ado, the secret ingredient for the month of June is...Strawberry

Here's my moka cakeI made my regular chocolate cake but added 1/4 cup of strong coffee in the batter. For the icing I made buttercream icing, and added a few drops of moka candy flavoring and about 1 tablespoon of coffee syrup.It was delish! Even hubby that hates coffee liked the cake!!!!

For the secret ingredient I wanted to choose something that was unique, but then I realized that unique ingredients are actually not that unique anymore. So as the day to announce it got closer, I finally realized that I want to shine the spotlight on an ingredient that a lot of us probably have in our homes, some of us probably take it for granted because it's so... ordinary. But I have to admit, I LOVE it, I CRAVE it.

Hey everyone! This is our baking club. I finally got it up and running. You have to have an LJ account to join so please just register and click on join community.

How it will work is this:- Secret ingredient, recipe or theme will be announced on the 5th of each month and everyone can join the fun and madness up until the end of the month. When a new month starts, the poll will be up and we have 4 days to vote for the next ingredient, recipe or theme.- You can share your experience, tips and pictures about your masterpiece.-There are no prizes! The incentive is we get off our butts (well that's actually just me) and start baking.
